Figure Drawing Quick Tips - Drawing From Memory 

You haven't forgotten how to teach from a fundamental level. You know how the brain works and how to nurture it. Thank you.

Awesome to see that drawing from imagination can be used as a tool to test yourself! It reminds me of weight lifting, except for the art brain. Will definitely do more of these!

I’ve noticed that I’ve been procrastinating drawing from imagination because for whatever reason the experience is really painful! Gotta break through that resistance!

Drawing from memory is important and a foundation in observation is helpful but after 20 + years pf experience doing this stuff, i have a couple bits of knowledge just from my experience personally to share. There are some skills that overlap the drawing from imagination vs observation approach, and there are some skills that help one, and not the other. Ultimately if you wish to become professional you need both sets of skills, and the ability to invent depends on a combination of what you know/recall from observation as well as established principles and theories about form, gesture, proportions, anatomy and other aspects of figure drawing. It also depends on what your goal is with art and the kind or things you wish to do that will dictate how and what you should really focus your study on.

you are very active, im glad

This was a great tip! Was considering doing something similar, but could not figure-out exactly how to do it. I've been looking into study techniques and if I understood correctly, this bootstraps recollection (active process) instead of recognition (passive process) which is a way to promote active learning. Highly recommend looking-up a few "mindmapping technique" YT videos as those explain active learning as a whole really well. All this great info out there for free, what a time to be alive!

Love this exercise for gauging progress. :)

Very interesting… So, after this sketch what would you say was revealed as one of your areas of weakness gat was revealed through this exercise? Because, it looked brilliant to my eye

I cant't wait for the new videos.Thank you..
